{"product_id":"the-bondwomans-narrative","title":"The Bondwoman's Narrative","description":"Thought to be the first novel written by a Black female slave in the 1850's, this work is both a historically important literary event and a gripping autobiographical story.\n\nWhen her master is betrothed to a woman who conceals a tragic secret, Hannah Crafts, a young slave on a wealthy North Carolina plantation, runs away in a bid for her freedom up North. Pursued by slave hunters, imprisoned by a mysterious and cruel captor, held by sympathetic strangers, and forced to serve a demanding new mistress, she finally makes her way to freedom in New Jersey. Her compelling story provides a fascinating view of American life in the mid-1800s and the literary conventions of the time.\n\nThe Bondswoman's Narrative is a provocative literary landmark and a significant historical event that will captivate audiences.\n\nIncludes an updated preface adding additional context about the author's incredible life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0446690295\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0446690295.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hannah Crafts|Henry Louis Gates Jr.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43076163305533,"sku":"BVV.0446690295.VG","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0446690295-0.jpg?v=1774995464","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-bondwomans-narrative","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
